Macho Man (G)
FAV
Made winning start over hurdles when decisively taking 14-runner juvenile at Auteuil (17.9f, soft, 26/1) 101 days ago. Since joined Willie Mullins. Very interesting to see how he compares in the betting to Proactif.

Proactif (G)
Promising sort who landed 18-runner juvenile hurdle at Auteuil (17.9f, soft) on debut over timber in September. Smart prospect for his top new connections.

Quinta Do Lago (G)
Won first 2 starts but limitations seemingly exposed when 16¾ lengths sixth of 10 to Narciso Has in Grade 2 at Leopardstown (16f, good, 11/1) 19 days ago.

Combs (G)
[PT]
Promising sort. Fairly useful winner at 12f on flat. Good 2½ lengths third of 12 to Its Bilbo in listed handicap at Limerick (16f, heavy, 12/1) 16 days ago, needing stiffer test. More to come.

Far Eclipse (G)
Fair maiden on the Flat. Twice-raced maiden over hurdles. 200/1, eighteenth of 19 in juvenile at Leopardstown (16f, good) 18 days ago. Easy to look elsewhere.

It's Bobsled Time (G)
Caused a huge shock when landing 14-runner juvenile hurdle at Naas (17.2f, heavy, 250/1) 30 days ago. This looks tougher, though.

Munsif (G)

Useful winner on Flat for Roger Varian who made a promising start over hurdles for new yard when third of 19 in juvenile at Leopardstown (16f, good, 7/2) 18 days ago. Open to improvement.

In My Teens (F)

Useful Flat winner. Nowhere near that level in 3 hurdle starts but remains one who could do better in this sphere before long.
